Makes me think about how other businesses have handled user addiction and whether they did so on their own volition—casinos, bars, lottery, etc.
Just spit-balling: I think bars will kick people out once they've had too much to drink, sometimes from a legality standpoint, but also from a place of sympathy or even fear (this person will disrupt the environment).
How would you say other businesses have handled this without government regulation?

There's heavy regulation, policing and liability here. Bars will cut people off and kick them out because if they let a person get tanked and they go hit someone with their car while drunk, that puts the business in jeopardy. Not only are there laws that make it a criminal offense, that's how a business loses its liquor license and gets held liable for potentially significant damages. My state has negligent serving of alcohol laws, and it also holds businesses responsible for any injuries, damages or deaths a drunk driver causes.
- jimkleiber 5y agoAh, so maybe it's more about legal compliance than I had thought. Do bars still cut off people for any non-legal reasons? Trying to find if these establishments do anything to curb addiction even when not forced by outside regulators.
